character's like Rocksteady, Bebop, Krang, and other character's exclusive to the 80's show, should they be in this movie? Or should they just use character's from the comics and maybe from the 2003 series?

The thing about the Mirage Comics, true the turtles were kick-ass characters, but aside from The Shredder, The Foot Clan, The Purple Dragons, Baxter Stockman, and the Triceratons, they didn't have a good rogues gallery.

Now, the 80's toons really had a great line up of villians, but they were too damn goofy and slapsticky.

That's why I say they should go with the way Archie did. Have the 80 characters with the tone of the Mirage books.

No. I grew up on the 80's cartoon, but when I saw the 1990 movie, it changed my perspective, and I just can't take Bebop or Rocksteady as serious foes.

They can be more threatening in a serious show/movie
The 80s cartoon has ninja turtles taken out by men in business suits and they barely fight like ninja, they have the title, weapons, some throws....and breaking everything around them in a fight

Personally, I'd be fine if they just took the 2003 cartoon and just put that on screen. But I can understand that Bebop, Rocksteady and Krang have their fans as well. And really, those are the only ones, I'd be fine with to be used from the 80's cartoon. But personalities? Major overhaul please.

I have to pass on Bebop and Rockseady. They were fun and stupid in the cartoons, but I don't want to see them in live action. Though I would seriously be down for Krang. Especially if his voice was the same as in the cartoons but more evil.

^Phealous hates that movie for the way they crapped on our childhood turtles, I actually love it for that reason, can't bare watching the 80s series these days without cringing, only Raphael is enjoyable, and Shredder with Krang interactions

Fully agree on Raphael breaking the fourth wall, those scenes were brilliant

As silly as the 80's show was, I think some here are being..a little dismissive of it. It was the reason why I love the Turtles in the first place, and it did pave the way for Turtle mania. Think of it as the old Adam West Batman.

They were exaggerated a little just to show the contrast between the new and the old more. If they would've been exactly like in the series, it wouldn't have been as interesting.

The new turtles were portraid a little more serious too, though in that case it was very subtle.
